Primary Identifier | MGI:2384418 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 243923 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within detection of light stimulus involved in visual perception. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in neuron projection. Is expressed in several structures, including olfactory epithelium and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in bradyopsia 2. Orthologous to human RGS9BP (regulator of G protein signaling 9 binding protein). PHENOTYPE: In spite of normal retinal morphology, rod light response is impaired in homozygous mutant mice. [provided by MGI curators] |
